Returning our Gaze to the Lord. Part 2. - Steve Porter (11-16-25 PM)

🔥 PART 2 — Returning Our Gaze to the Lord (2026 Focus)
“We can’t just desire God to move… we must prepare our hearts for Him.”

Welcome to Part 2 of this timely and prophetic message from Steve Porter. As we step toward 2026, the Lord is calling His people to deeper consecration—a year of trusting God, fasting before Him, and fixing our gaze fully upon Jesus.

Fasting isn’t comfortable. It isn’t exciting in the natural. But it is holy.
It is a sacred “yes” to the One who gave everything for us.
He took the thorns… the whip… the nails… the cross.
Surely we can offer Him something in return.

In tonight’s message, Steve shares from his own week of personal wrestling—how the enemy tries to overwhelm believers with comparison, condemnation, distractions, and storms. But Jesus is calling us back… back to simplicity… back to worship… back to the secret place… back to returning our gaze to the Lord.

📌 Highlights from this message:
• Why fasting and prayer must be joined together for 2026
• How the enemy uses storms to distract and drain believers
• Why fixing your eyes on Jesus breaks confusion and fear
• The danger of obsessing over your flaws, failures, or past
• How worship and beholding the Lord transform us from the inside out
• What to do when you feel defeated, weary, fearful, or overwhelmed
• The daily battle to reject negative thoughts and lift your gaze
• Why “forget about yourself and worship Him” is the key to breakthrough
• The invitation to walk in the peace, strength, and joy of Jesus again

Whether you are watching from home, in your car, or late at night in a quiet room… this is a divine appointment.
The Lord wants to minister to your heart.
He wants to lift the heavy weights.
He wants to restore your focus.
He wants to remind you: “Child, look at Me… not the storm.”

• 2 Corinthians 3:18

• Psalm 34:4
